Comfort Food

BeachRunner: That precious moment with your mother is one you'll have forever -- comfort food for the soul. Looking forward to meeting you in person soon.

BR - this is my new favorite thread.:clap_1:

Thanks!

Here's one of my favorite comfort foods:
Polenta Cake

I will definitely make this. But I'll have to go to Atlanta to get polenta; it's not sold here. If I asked for polenta at the Publix here, they'd think I was a terrorist or some other weirdo.

BR, these are the moments (memories) that will help you get thru the hard times.

You're right.

My idea of good comfort food, in no particular order. ;-) Big pot of pinto beans, served with buttermilk cornbread, fried taters with onions, fried okra, homemade fried corn, fried green tomatoes, my grandmas fried chicken, chicken fried steak and gravy, all the above served with fresh sliced home grown tomatoes, and a big hunk of vidallia onion.

Yum! Good old Southern food. Don't forget the greens. I'd loves me a big bowl of collards with some corn bread to sop up the pot "likker" with!

And, beach runner- I wish I had tape recorded my mom everytime she was lucid. She had Alzheimer's for almost 15 years, was silent for about 5 of those and I miss her voice the most.

Me, too. I used to call her every day. But now she can rarely carry on a conversation. I really miss talking to her every day.

Shrimp n Grits

That looks yummy! Beach Jacket had that Monday night at Blue Ridge Grill in Atlanta.

I've been cooking and freezing lasagna (comfort food), meatballs (comfort food), Italian chicken liver pate, hummus, a goat cheese dip for crackers, a blue cheese dip for vegetables, and that home-made NYT Italian bread for Friday night. We'll probably just have sandwiches for Saturday night and salads because we have a reception at a hotel from 1-5 with lunch and dancing (Bat Mitzvah service is in the morning). Then quiche, bagels/cream cheese/lox, fruit salad, and coffee cake for brunch on Sunday.

Wow! I don't think I'd tackle dinner for 40. Impressive. Food sounds yummy! Hope she has a great Bat Mitzvah.

Hey, Steele Mama, if you're ever in the mood for comfort food, don't go to Ted's in Peachtree City (an alternate place we were considering for today). They got a 66 (out of 100) on their food inspection.! YIKES!

A very good friend of our works there. The last time I was there I got the childs Salmon with sweet potato and squash casserole. It was very good. I'll have to ask her about the poor rating.

Shrimp n Grits

Yes!!!

The problem is, I love Ted's. I was sorry that the Newnan location closed, but the service and food were never as good as at the Peachtree City location. Yeah, get the scoop for me, Steele Mama!

This is killing me!!! It's only 7:30 and all I can think about is lunch.

What I wouldn't give for some of my mother's fried chicken, mashed potatoes with lumps (that comes from using real potatoes, children), white gravy, corn bread, fried squash, creole tomatoes and peach pie.

My, My, My. that was some good eat'n.
